Monday Links —- ESPN on Shaq, SI.com on Price and Sarkisian, and more

Not really the week when college football is front and center, obviously. But there are still a few things out there to pass along. …

— And we’ll start with a story from the ESPN Pac-12 blog on Shaq Thompson and his thoughts on what he can do to improve in 2013. As I wrote last week, Thompson has headed off for a week or so to the Boston Red Sox minor league spring training camp.

— SI.com, meanwhile, has a lengthy story on the challenge faced by Steve Sarkisian and Keith Price to get UW to contending status in the Pac-12 this season.

— The ESPN guys also have a roundup of weekend news and notes from around the Pac-12, including updates on the QB situations at Cal and USC (which each look to have no clear answer for a while).

— NFL draft analyst Pat Kirwan of CBSSports.com has Tampa Bay taking Desmond Trufant with the 13th pick. If that were to reallyh happen, the Bucs would have four of UW’s most noteworthy defensive players of the last decade on their roster — already witih Tampa Bay are Mason Foster, Dashon Goldson (who signed last week) and Daniel Te’o-Nesheim. And as noted last week, Tampa Bay plays the Seahawks in Seattle in 2013 (dates of games, though, have yet to be announced).
